TUESDAY, MAY 20, 2003 Cockfighting enthusiasts are hoping they can keep the tradition alive by hosting events in Indian Country. Not so, says the Ute Tribe of Utah. The tribe, responding to claims by two groups, says cockfighting is illegal on the Fort Duchesne Reservation. Mike Turner, a member of the Kiowa Tribe of Oklahoma, contends that federal laws against cockfighting don't apply to tribal governments. He started the Kiowa Association for the Preservation of Cultural and Rural Lifestyles. Bobby Jones, national director of the Texas-based Animal Husbandry Commission, has been promoting a cockfight on the Fort Duchesne Reservation. Get the Story:
